Departure by the Highway to Yura bordering the Chachani Volcano, following the road we arrive at the ghost town "Pampa de Arrieros" known for being the gateway for travelers in train times. Then we will make a brief stop at the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, impressive for its grandeur and spectacular rock formations, as well as for its important flora and fauna. We will make several stops along the way within the reserve to appreciate the South American camelids (vicuñas, llamas and guanacos) and the volcanoes from a very impressive and different perspective from the one seen from the city of Arequipa. We will stop for a snack and acclimatize to continue the trip on the Arequipa-Puno highway, where we will detour and stop at the Pillones waterfall. Our next stop will be at the entrance to the Puruña Stone Forest, a magical place that will leave us speechless with rock formations straight out of another planet. Arrival at the Pillones Waterfall, where you will see rocks shaped by water erosion, we will see vizcachas (Andean rodents) jumping between the rocks. You can descend to the waterfall, but with great care, once there you can take photos, enjoy the warm morning weather, the sound of the water and time for photos. After enjoying a day in the middle of nature, we return to Arequipa for lunch. Return to the city of Arequipa.
